The amazing world of LEGO® Technic constructions.
Based on the vision from Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891-1958), a carpenter from Billund/Denmark, whose personal motto was "Only the best is good enough" - Leg Godt (Play Well).

TechnicBRICKs blog (TBs hereafter) is devoted to the LEGO Technic theme and intends to spot mainly on news and developments, rather than new sets reviews or users creations (aka MOCs). However you will also find them here occasionally...

Quite a while ago TBs raised a poll for you to tell us about other colors than the traditional ones actually used at LEGO Technic sets, that would be among your preferences to see used in new sets and parts available for your own constructions.

After two weeks and over 500 hundred votes, the results have been visible in the right side column. Finally today I managed to conclude this and register the results into a dedicated post, for future reference.

With a large distance to its followers, the Orange came at first place.

Following colors doesn't show any substantial difference among each other, and they include colors like Green and Dark Blue. Some seen before, but others never used before into a Technic set.
Besides resting at fourth place in the poll ranking, Dark-blue got several mentions in the comments section as being a quite desired color.
Trans-Clear also got a very substantial result in the ranking, but guess it might be useful mainly for particular parts or usecases.

Some interesting comments were raised to the original poll post supporting the desire for an increased number of colors to be used in LEGO Technic sets, but a common concern refers that such an increased may not succeed if they won't get commonly available in variety and quantity, that would allow AFOLs to build their own models easily.

Meanwhile I leave you with an image suggested by Junkstyle Gio, for an hypothetical orange version from the 8265 Front Loader.
